First time posting - we are expecting a sister for Bertie in 2 weeks and need naming help please! We are struggling as we are trying to match the baby's name with our sons name but wonder how much that matters. Does anyone else have a Bertie with a sister and would share their naming shortlist please? We like European names and prefer shorter and more traditional names although anything considered at this stage as we are at a loss?

My first thought was Beatrix and I can see I’m the third. Also love the name Nell.

A colleague at work had Bertie first and then Beatrice shortened to Bea.

My Bertie is a dog so his “sisters” are cats.
No judgement though, my son also has what many see as a Dog namec

Ooh Hattie is lovely too!

MyrtleSmurf · 02/06/2023 14:49

The Bertie I know has a sister called Amelia.

I like the slightly old fashioned vibe but I wouldn't go full on old lady.
Maude, Agnes and Sybil are not nice sounding names to me!

I'm going to add my vote to Etta, Camille, Nell/Helen and Flora.

Betsy or Betty were the ones that popped in my mind first. They have the old fashioned feeling while mirroring the shortened version of Bertie.

Mable!

We have a Bertie and younger sibling would have been Alice if a girl.
